A fine white and grey jade carving of a boy on hobby-horse17th/18th century Deftly carved as a standing boy with finely incised patch of hair atop his pate, carrying a spray of lotus in his right hand extending over his back, his left hand holding the reins of a hobby-horse between his legs, the stone of pale white tone with a grey patch. 8.5cm (3 3/8in) high. Footnotes:十七/十八世紀 白玉雕騎竹馬童子擺件Provenance: Gerard Arnhold (1918-2010) Born in 1918 in Dresden, Germany, Gerard Arnhold was from a well-known family of Jewish philanthropists. His family left Germany in 1936, after the Nazis came to power and seized their assets. He served in the British Army during the Second World War, before starting a successful technology company in Brazil. He and his family supported rebuilding efforts in Germany and many charitable causes, always working anonymously. Arnhold was also a generous supporter of the Durham Oriental Museum for many years.來源:Gerard Arnhold(1918-2010年)Gerard Arnhold,1918年出生於德國德累斯頓的著名猶太慈善家族。 1936年,在納粹上台並沒收其家族財產後,全家離開德國。他曾於第二次世界大戰期間效力於英軍,之後在巴西成功創立了一家科技公司。二戰後,Gerard及其家人長期匿名支持德國重建工作及其他慈善事業,他也是達勒姆東方博物館的長期捐贈者。Images of boys playing with a hobby horse form part of the popular 'boys at play' and 'Hundred Boys' subjects that emerged during the Song dynasty. This theme is symbolic of the Confucian ideal for the education and advancement of many sons, a wish further emphasised by the lotus (lian 蓮) he carries which is a homophone of 'continuous' (lian 連) and creates the rebus 'May you continuously give birth to sons'. As the boy is depicted riding a hobby-horse, this conveys the further wish for it to come quickly as 'to be on top of a horse' (mashang 馬上) means 'immediately'.Compare with a similarly finely-carved figure, but holding a rattle instead of a lotus stem, in the Museum of East Asian Art, Bath, (museum no.BATEA 1218); and a related figure of a boy holding a lantern on a pole, from the collection of Florence and Herbert Irving and now in the Metropolitan Museum, New York (acc.no.2015.500.5.14).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A Chinese gilt-decorated cup and saucer and a floral famille rose cup, YongzhengDia.: 13,5 cm (the saucer)Dia.: 8,5 cm - H.: 4 cm (the cup)Ê Provenance:- A Dutch private collection. - The famille rose cup with an engraved inventory number from the collection of August the Strong.Ê The Saxon elector and Polish king Augustus the Strong was a major proponent of porcelain in the early 18th century. His love for the material drove him to imprison a talented young alchemist named Johann Friedrich Bottger in hopes of finding the formula for white porcelain, which at that time was a secret known only in China and Japan.Ê When Bottger perfected the recipe for porcelain in 1709, Augustus the Strong quickly founded the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory, the first porcelain manufactory in Europe, revolutionizing the porcelain market worldwide. He eventually amassed what is still the largest collection of Chinese and Japanese porcelain in the West, and began plans for a palace built to store the royal collection, an ambition that ultimately remained a dream.Ê The collection of Chinese and Japanese porcelain Augustus the Strong grew to 29.000 pieces until his death in 1733. Roughly 8.000 pieces from his collection are still preserved in Dresden. They are actually the subject of a major cataloguing, digitization, and research project of the Dresden Porcelain Collection, something experts from all over the world are working on. The remaining third can be considered as a representative cross section of the original collection. The other pieces were dispersed throughout the world in many different ways: In the 19th century, when the Porcelain Collection tried to turn itself into a museum of world ceramics, so-called duplicates were sold or given away in exchanges. When Saxony became a republic in 1918, parts of the porcelain collection became public whereas others stayed with the royal family and were partly auctioned. More losses occurred during the Second World War, when the collections were moved to different repositories outside of Dresden and later to Russia, from where the biggest part returned to Dresden in 1958. Today, we can recognize the pieces originally in the collection of Augustus the Strong thanks to their historic inventory numbers. They are treasured objects in public as well as private collections and in the art market.
